Instructions – Seed and Nut Loaf

  • You can bake the bread anytime beforehand and keep it in the fridge for 2 or 3 days or slice it and freeze it for a few weeks. This is a great standby food to keep stock of for quick meals.
  • To make the bread add the following to the mixing bowl: The oats, the chia seeds, the flax/ linseeds, the chopped up nuts, the psyllium husk powder, the water and stir well to mix all ingredients.
  • Add the tablespoon of salt and optional extra herbs etc now and mix through evenly. It will be a dense mixture.
  • Cover the dish and leave for at least an hour or longer.
  • When you are ready to bake it preheat the oven to 180’C.
  • Mix the dough briefly again and press into the lightly greased and lined loaf pan.
  • Pop it in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes (till it is getting a firm crust), turn loaf out onto the baking tray bottoms up and pop into the oven for a further 20 to 30 minutes (until it sounds hollow when you tap it).
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • When cool, slice it into 12 slices.
  • This can be kept in the fridge for 3 days or can be sliced, wrapped and frozen for about two weeks.
  • A slice of this bread taken from the freezer and toasted is the best toast ever!

Instructions – Summer Tuna Salad

  • Mix together the tuna (or shredded chicken), the chopped yellow peppers, spring onions, cucumber, chopped tomatoes, and very finely mashed/blended peppadews.
  • Add seasoning to taste.

To Serve

  • Mold your tuna (or chicken) salad by pressing about a cup of it into the ramekin/ small cup/ small bowl.
  • Turn upside down on a plate and gently tap the bottom until the contents slip out onto the plate, lift the ramekin away.
  • Place your seedy nut toast or bread onto your plate.
  • Garnish with spiralised or slithered carrot and a few bits of tomato and cucumber.
  • Serve men two slices of toast/bread with a bigger molded portion of the tuna (or chicken) salad.
  • Serve women one slice of the bread with a smaller ramekin size molded portion of the tuna (or chicken) salad.
  • This is a lovely, light summery lunch and it is packed with nutrients and wholesome goodness. Feel free to add some extra green salad on the side for extra summery crunchiness.
